“Game was pretty fun, but $30 is too steep given what's there. Also, it has phone game microtrans and battlepass on top of the asking price. Love the gameplay idea, but sorry, can't support this. Refunded.”
“While the game is fun for a few hours it is no where near worth $40 AUD. It is a F2P game at best. Also it's overloaded with micro transactions and has a battlepass. EA does it again.,......”
“The game is fun but you have many "bad decisions". - Today there are many F2P games that offer a similar experience, What justifies paying for "Rocket Arena"? - Right now absolutely nothing. Because of this the player…”

“Good thing i played in the beta and got it for free or else i would not have bought it! There is nothing in the game that warrants a THIRTY DOLLAR price tag, the gameplay overall feels fine and the graphic elements are…”
“It really should have been Free To Play upon launch. I got the game for free by being a part of the beta test. Although it really is a fun game, I can confidently say that I would not have bought it for the price tag EA…”
“Rocket Arena is a fun fast paced aerial arena shooter. Not gonna lie i'm a bit upset they switched it from first person view to third person. Still a cool game nonetheless, nice graphics and good gameplay. There's many…”

“I am having an absolute blast with my friends in this game. A couple things to note when considering purchasing this game as I see it is getting a lot of mixed reviews that are leaving out a lot of relevant information.…”
“Fun game with a unique feel even when there's multiple hero shooters out there, feels great just to chill and shoot some rockets. You're able to purchase the skins with in game currency as well which I don't see many…”
“Due to a lot of negative reviews I was not sure if I should refund this game before the two hour mark but I decided to keep it because I am having a lot of fun! This game may or may not die but the same can be said for…”

“I'd say this game is like Quake Champions - people are gonna play it, devs are gonna support it, people will hate on it all over social media, no content creator is gonna get famous from this game, low viewership on…”

“Actually pretty fun arena style shooter for $5, but with crossplay on I feel like I'm whooping literal kids playing on the family ipad.”
“Underrated third person team-play shooter. Not enough players but that doesnt stop the small community thats keeping this game alive from playing. Wouldnt buy if I was outside of the Americas or UK because of small…”

“AA price tag, in-game shop, and a battle pass... Yikes. At it's core, feels and plays like a mobile game designed to milk the credit card of kids' parents. Potentially fun for a few hours for a laugh, but the business…”
“This type of games should be free from the start with added battle pass or cosmetic microtransactions if they want to make money. Putting a buy price will make this game a failure unfortunately.”

“make this game free to play cuz servers are pretty dead. That way the game will get more players and popularity and from the cosmetics and bpass u will earn more money than if u sell 5$ game with dead servers, I think that you need better marketing specialist, cuz u r only losin…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“The game's actually very fun. Skill-based 3v3 shooting, with unique knockout mechanics resembling Power Stone or Smash Bros. Unfortunately, I wouldn't blame you if you wouldn't want to pay 30 bucks, while the game still has both microtransactions AND a Battle Pass.”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Graphics are nice. Gameplay is nice. But I see a 30$ game with a Battle Pass, Rotating Store and limited time 'events' and published by EA. That told me all I needed to know about this game. That it should have been Free to Play, and it even feels like it. Avoid this if you have…”
